"Pres. Bush's penchant for handing out nicknames to those around him strikes again! And while GWB and GHWB lovingly refer to one another as '41' and '43' respectively, White House insiders say GWB is now referring to Condi as '44' ... developing ..."

Hot on the heels of Condi's Larry King appearance, we here at Americans For Dr. Rice would like to announce a multi-week media campaign in New Hampshire and Florida. Initially, we'll be on WNTK-AM in New Hampshire and WKAT in Greater Miami. The ad campaign starts today to coincide with Freedom Fest, at which we are one of the exhibitors, and will run for several weeks. These are prototype radio spots, some of which will be converted to television ads in 2006. Surprises are fun. Be Seeing You, Chris

Speculation over Rice's future has GOP abuzz BY HELEN KENNEDY New York Daily News WASHINGTON - (KRT) - President Condi?

File this under rumor, the kind of which has the ring of truth to it. From the Shape of Days blog: February 09, 2005 One for the rumor mill: ‘44’ I wish I could remember where I heard this. I've been meaning to post it for a couple of weeks, and in the intervening time I've completely forgotten who told me about it. So file this one under rumors-comma-amusing. Everybody knows that the President refers to his father affectionately as "41," right? After the fact that George H.W. Bush was the 41st President of the United States. Bill Clinton...

Thought I'd gin up a live thread. If she starts in French, we'll need a translator.

Condoleezza Rice Date of birth: November 14, 1954 Hometown: Birmingham, Alabama The girl next door: “I always say to [the President], ‘This is what I think, but let me tell you what the others think.’ The key is to not take advantage of the fact that I live a few doors down from the Oval Office.” Where you’ve seen her: Lighting up the small screen and the press in her current role as President George W. Bush’s sassy national security adviser. Look for her soon, when she will be making her hotly anticipated debut before the 9/11 commission.

Condoleezza Rice is a "true illiterate," said a patronizing Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. This Marxist thug added that he had asked his comrade Cuban dictator Fidel Castro to mail America’s National Security Advisor samples of Cuban books now being used to teach Venezuelan children literacy to “see if she learns to respect the dignity of the people and learns a bit about us." Apparently President Chavez is both a racist and a puny macho sexist to make such stupid remarks. His stunted manhood is threatened by criticism from this powerful woman. Condoleezza Rice, who recently called on Chavez to accept...

Admirers have called her one of the country's best and brightest and the President's secret weapon. At a June 4 meeting with Jordanian, Palestinian Authority, and Israeli leaders, President Bush called her "my personal representative" and said she would work closely with the parties to help bring about peace. Her significance in shaping American foreign policy is hard to overstate. Known affectionately inside the White House as the Warrior Princess, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice often speaks for the President on foreign policy and is one of his closest confidants. From her northwest corner office of the West Wing, she...

President Bush's national security adviser said on Thursday that the Clinton and other past administrations had ignored evidence of growing terrorist threats and that despite repeated attacks on American interests, "until Sept. 11, the terrorists faced no sustained, systematic and global response" from the United States. "They became emboldened," the adviser, Condoleezza Rice, said of Al Qaeda, "and the result was more terror and more victims." With these comments, in a speech in New York on Thursday evening to the National Legal Center for the Public Interest, Ms. Rice waded into what has become a central theme of the early...

Bush Labels Aide Rice the 'Unsticker' WASHINGTON - President Bush gave his national security adviser, Condoleezza Rice, a new job description Tuesday: the White House's "unsticker." The White House recently set up, under Rice, a new National Security Council oversight group over Iraq. The move prompted speculation that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had been sidelined, despite the Pentagon's continuing authority over the U.S. mission in Iraq. It also led to much talk of how Rice, one of Bush's most powerful and trusted advisers, performs her job. Bush was asked what changed with the creation of Rice's new group. He did...

For any Russian confused about the names and career highlights of the Bush Administration, help went on sale on Thursday. The "United Cards of America", Russia's answer to the US military's "Iraqi most-wanted" playing cards, features a 36-card round-up of key figures in Washington. From George Bush ("USA President since 2001, convinced that God has a plan for him") to the Federal Reserve chairman, Alan Greenspan ("second-most powerful man in the world"), and Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld ("the face of struggle with terrorism"), the cards are an attempt to teach Russians that what happens on the Volga is increasingly determined...

An upcoming TV docudrama chronicling President Bush's actions in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 attacks blames President Clinton's "weakness" for leaving America vulnerable to the disaster. Titled "DC/9/11: A Time of Crisis" and set for broadcast Sunday night on Showtime, the film "rarely misses a chance to suggest that the Clinton administration's weakness was to blame for the disaster," reported the New York Times on Friday. In one poignant exchange, Bush is shown telling Prime Minister Tony Blair, "I want to inflict pain . . bring enough damage so they understand there is a new team here, a...

Excerpts From Rice's Remarks to NABJ Excerpts from remarks Thursday by Condoleezza Rice, the national security adviser, before the National Association of Black Journalists in Dallas: - IRAQ: Confronting Saddam Hussein's Iraq was also essential. Let me be very clear about why we went to war against Saddam Hussein. Saddam Hussein's regime posed a threat to the security of the United States and the world. This was a regime that had pursued, had used and possessed weapons of mass destruction. The regime had links to terror, had twice invaded other nations, defied the international community and 17 United Nations resolutions...

As White House officials try to cotrol the latest fallout over President Bush's flawed suggestion in the State of the Union Address that Iraq was buying nuclear bomb materials, there's growing talk by insiders that National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice may resign.For most insiders it's inconceivable that Dr. Rice, touted as Future Secretary of State, California Governor, and even Vice President, would go, but the latest relevations that her shop and deputy Stephen Hadley mishandled Central Intelligence Agency warnings have put the National Security Council in the bulls eye of controversy.While its unclear how serious the talk is inside the...

Soon she'll face a tough personal decision: whether to run for governor of California.</p> <p>Republicans in the state have been buzzing about the possibility that Rice, the former Stanford University provost who makes Silicon Valley her permanent home, may seek the Republican gubernatorial nomination in 2006.</p>

NEW YORK: As a girl, she vowed that she would marry an American footballer, but she has ended up helping to run the country instead. Now there is speculation that Condoleezza Rice may fulfil both ambitions after she invited a handsome sportsman not once but twice to the White House as her date. The gossip began when Gene Washington, a former player with the San Francisco 49ers, turned up at a formal dinner for President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo of the Philippines just over a week ago. Noticeably, Rice, the US national security adviser, had also invited him to dine with the...

Under grilling by social critic Camille Paglia and Radar editor Maer Roshan, the proprietor of the billion-hit-a-year Drudgereport.com claims that the DNC has assembled a "really thick . . . dirt file" on Condoleezza Rice. On Rice: "Oh, she's a powerhouse! But the DNC has a dirt file on her that is really thick. Think of 'The Contender,' or those other movies that have warned what happens when a female candidate has some dirt she'd rather hide." As for the so-called "dirt file," DNC Communications Director Debra DeShong gave a non-denial denial. "We don't talk about our research," she said,...
